Roflan posted:I would love to effort post about the psychology of suicide but probably shouldn't. All I'll say is that if someone is in the position where they might commit suicide over the failure of a game then they were suicidal before their attachment to the game and were using it as a means to ignore the true source of their pain. The failure might not be the root cause of suicide, but sadly could serve as the final nail... I know someone (a friend of a friend) who did try to kill himself, and that guy had a sudden change of heart as he was bleeding out. Luckily an amublance arrived fast enough (he called them himself). The actual event that pushed him to do it was neglible to any normal person. Some of those people went with trash food for months to put more money in, or risked/some lost their significant other. If those are already close to suicide. It failing could push someone over. I hope it doesn't happen.

They also seem to have settled for good but not MEGA high quality graphics. Which helps keep development costs down. Their team is ~ a dozen ? All heads included. And they can keep deadlines.

Octopode posted:Now--that's for the US, which generally has very business-friendly consumer protection laws. In the EU and other places with more consumer-focused protection laws, it probably isn't the case. Buying online in germany: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widerruf_%28Recht%29 (not up to date but was up till 2014) Summary: After a product is delivered (S42 or the release of a Game), you have 14 days to go back on the contract. Without having to state any reasons. Though if your seller does not point out the right to do so, you have no cutoff for a refund. P.S. Fun question: How can a concept sale end in a pledge?

Well I think the license is meaningless if you can't use the service/product (PU, S42, etc.). And this they never told me about my "Widerrufsrecht" the 14 days extend to the date they tell me about this right + :2weeks:. That's not legal knowledge, but it falls in line how the BGB (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) is treating stuff like that. That's like paying for any Anti-Virus Suite license and the start of service is 1 year in the future, after 2 years you still can't use the AV-Service. I dare say that's a failure to honor the contract. And thus you can ask for your money back. I highly doubt any judge (at least in germany) would go against that.

^^ Nicely beaten Octopode posted:The rules for physical products and digital licenses are extremely different (even if they probably shouldn't be; that's the way the courts have ruled). Your example is slightly flawed. It would be like: - Paying in 2012 for 10 tracks, delivery date 2014 - up to 2014 you'd be getting not 10 tracks, but 1 teaser of two different tracks. But they're of low quality and only 3 seconds long. - 2015 you get another teaser track. What you paid for hasn't been done and hasn't been delivered. If they had delivered S42 and the PU, and even if it sucked. You'd have no recourse. But that's certainly not the case. It might be a grey legal area in the US of A. But the countries in the EU do have a somewhat different legal situation.

Sarsapariller posted:I think it's one of the many promises they will inevitably break, but it was one of the ones I was originally very excited about- and they've still got an entire forum dedicated to it, and they had a whole show showcasing modders in the community. They went a long way towards encouraging the mod scene and never really delivered on it. Come on! Give them a break. They're still in the early stages of prototyping. They want to do it right on the first try. I think it would be grossly unfair to ask for mod support during these early days.
